THE real-life Antwone Fisher, documentary filmmaker Michael Moore and a pair of brothers – one real, one imaginary – picked up award nominations yesterday from the Writers Guild of America.

The last group to weigh in before Tuesday’s announcement of Oscar nominations, the WGA gave a boost to “Antwone Fisher,” which has lagged during the awards season, by nominating Fisher’s autobiographical script for best original screenplay.

In the same category, Moore was nominated for “Bowling for Columbine,” which United Artists has been pushing in the Best Picture Oscar race.

The other original screenplay nominees were director Todd Haynes for the soap opera “Far From Heaven,” Nia Vardalos for the autobiographical romantic comedy “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” and the team of Jay Cocks, Steven Zaillian andKenneth Longeran for the epic “Gangs of New York.”

In the adapted screenplay category, brothers Chris and Paul Weitz shared a nomination with Peter Hedges for the comedy “About a Boy” – while Charlie Kaufman shared a nomination with his imaginary brother (but credited co-writer) Donald Kaufman for the zany comedy “Adaptation.”

The other nominees in the category are Alexander Payne andJim Taylor for the dark comedy “About Schmidt,” Bill Condon for the musical “Chicago” and David Hare for the Virginia Woolf homage “The Hours.”
